City Guide:

Say ''Beervana''.

It’s s nickname Portland acquired thanks to Henry Weinhard – the father of brewing in the United States’s Pacific Northwest. Due to his merit Portland became a beer-perfumed destination when Henry Weinhard bought the oldest brewery in the city - the Liberty Brewery, producing from 2,000 barrels per year to 40,000 barrels within a year of his takeover.

Numerous other breweries followed suit.

City parks and green gardens make up a distinct feature of Portland's face. In fact, this is the main reason the city nicknamed a ''City of Roses''. Portland is not just one of the most impressive cities in Western America, but also the second largest in Pacific Northwest after Seattle.

Portland is considered to be a ''West American Beauty'' soaked into the laid-back northern Pacific coast. Portland lies in Oregon at the nearby confluence of the Willamette River with the Columbia River at Vancouver, Washington.

This proximity to the rivers meant the fertile banks of Portland were first inhabited more than 10,000 years ago. As legend has it, among the first to discover Portland were William Overton and Asa Lovejoy. They obtained this land because of its commercial prospects.

Commerce was fuelled by its riverside location thus fishing, lumber, and agriculture industries began. Then railroad arrived in the 1880s, and Portland became the largest city on the west coast till Seattle eclipsed its growth when railroad came to the state of Washington too.
